Unfortunately, the bug you see is hard to track down. Apparently VS2013
claims to have variadic template support, but it is broken.

Fixing code for VS2013 is hard because not many active developers use
it, the new release model (Compiler RCs without library support) makes
it hard to identify the source of an issue and the bugs are plentiful
(in features advertised as working).

You seem to be knowledgeable enough to help with this and could submit
patches.
